A Methodist church allows anyone to get baptized, regardless of age or mental maturity. They also let anyone take communion. Baptist churches only baptize youth and adults who confess their sins, not to babies. They also only allow those who are baptized to take part in communion.

Episcopalian has some church hierarchy (bishops, etc.). I don't think that Baptists have a church hierarchy.

What would a good compromise church be for a Methodist adn baptist that are married?

I was in that situation 25 years ago. Methodist churches do have some that are more evangelical than others. If you can find an evangelical Methodist church, usually smaller than the "First Methodist of the City," then that would be the best of the compromise. Not to step on any toes but my spouse found the baptist churches in our southern town to be too judgmental for her Methodist upbringing. I found the Methodist church acceptable to my divergent beliefs in Bible study and I could still believe as a conservative baptist while still a member in the Methodist church.
